Active learning strategies transform the class in a powerful way by involving the students to work with the
course material in the classroom either individually or in groups. Active learning strategies such as role
play, Mnemonics, Mind Mapping and just a minute are extensively used to improve the learning
capabilities. These learning strategies, unlike open class discussion, are timed, structured, and are designed
to give students a chance to learn by acting on a specific piece of content. Students learn material better
when they engage it actively rather than absorb it passively. E-learning platforms are provided to facilitate
independent learning, bridge the gap from classroom learning and also to supplement the advanced
learning concepts. Available e-learning platforms include ERP, learning resources through CDs and DVDs.
Teaching–learning is a phenomenon where the teacher and student both learn. Traditional teaching has
been replaced with more innovative and creative ways of disseminating, sharing and facilitating knowledge
development in students. By this method, the teacher refines his/ her subject knowledge and effective
teaching skills, where as the student finds it easier to understand the subject and its applications. As both
are involved with commitment, an interest has been created in the student and the teacher to come out with
new and innovative ideas. Our faculty members explain/discuss the course content with live examples
wherever possible. This teaching-learning innovative method would certainly encourage the students to
raise questions and some times, with working models development, they get answers to their queries. This
kind of support would certainly enhance their innovative skills and creative ideas.
All the departments are well equipped with ICT-enabled facilities like computers with internet facility, E-
classrooms and online content from NPTEL and other open course ware from reputed universities like
Stanford and MIT. Video conferencing facility through Skype is made available to the faculty and students

“Swach Bharat Abhiyan” is a campaign in India started by hon’ble Prime Minister which aims to
maintain cleanliness everywhere. In response to this campaign, SIET conducts frequent activities like
cleaning of roads, awareness on proper waste disposal etc. The institution is very conscious of generating
less waste and recycling it by passing it through a system that enables the used material to be reused
ensuring that less natural resources are consumed.
The solid waste in the campus is disposed in a systematic way. The waste is segregated at each
level at the source itself. Dust bins are placed everywhere in the campus. The administrative supervisor in
each block ensures that the waste in each floor is collected at designated time intervals. The floor dust bins
are emptied into movable containers provided for each block and are taken to the dumping yard within the
institution. Segregated food waste, vegetable peels etc are collected from the canteens on the campus and is
made compost. Similarly, the garden waste, dry leaves are also used as compost. Recyclable wastes like
pet bottles, cartons and worn out stationery are collected which are periodically sold to vendors for
recycling.
The waste water from various sources is properly diverted towards plants to maintain the greenery in the
campus as well as providing ecologically aesthetic environment. Proper drainage system is arranged for all
the buildings of the campus. Keeping in view the decrease in ground level water the management thought
of storing rain water and constructed water pits to raise ground water levels.
E-waste Management:
All electrical waste such as tube lights, bulbs, old switches, and wires are stored separately in a shed. The
house keeping team has been trained in handling all categories of waste. An effective system of
segregation, collection, storage, and disposal of waste has been practised in the institution. The Institution
has also taken the following steps to reduce the generation of waste. Steel plates are used instead of paper
and plastic plates, steel spoons replace of the plastic spoons in the canteen, steel tumblers in place of paper
cups. Awareness programmes about waste management are conducted on the campus for students, faculty
and housekeeping staff to promote environment friendly practices as part of “Swachh Campus” inspired
from “Swachh Bharat”.
Flip flops, memory chips, motherboard, compact discs, cartridges etc generated by electronic equipment
such as computers, radio, TV, phones, printers, Fax and photocopy machines are recycled properly. The e-
waste generated from hardware which cannot be reused or recycled is being disposed of centrally to
vendors.
Response:
We all know that water is the basis for all living beings on the earth .In countries like India, which depend
on rain for its agriculture ,water plays a vital role .During incessant and heavy rains most of the water is
being wasted by letting out into the seas and rivers .Therefore rainwater harvesting became necessary
which everyone should practice. Rain Water Storage is a valuable alternative water resource
along with more conventional water supply technologies. Rainwater harvesting is one of the scientific
methods that can be followed by the institution as well as individuals as a small through value towards
water preservation. This decreases pressure on groundwater. Our institution is zero water discharge campus
which means that no water is discharged outside the campus and water is used for horticultural activities
and flushing the toilets etc.The rain water collected from roads and pavements are flown into soak pits
provided at all buildings of the institution and hostels. This ensures the water levels in the bore wells
within the institutions are maintained at usable levels.
An underground drainage system has been established in the campus connecting all the
